T6: Addressing Generational Trauma, Mental Health, and Substance Use in Indigenous Populations

Only available as part of a package

With more than 570 federally recognized tribes in the United States and only .13% of licensed clinicians identifying as Native American or Indigenous, culturally responsive care remains critically important. Led by an Indigenous clinician, this session offers valuable insight into working effectively with Indigenous communities. Participants will explore generational trauma in this community and consider the social stigmas and barriers Indigenous individuals often face when seeking care. Attendees will leave with increased knowledge and practical understanding to better support Indigenous Tribes in their professional practice.

(Osiyo- "hello"). My name is Tishina Carroll. I am a proud member of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians. I am from the Cherokee Indian Reservation from Western North Carolina. I've been a licensed clinician for over 10 years. I am a LCSW, LCAS and CCS. I lost my biological father to addiction when I was 21. Following his death, I decided to obtain my degree in Social Work (focusing on addiction). In his honor, I've made it my personal mission to spread awareness of addiction and mental illness within Indian Country.
